Gramma Camp – Week 32.3

 Last night, Nutmeg decided she had to redecorate her box. She hasn't done that in ages! She chews on the cardboard. Josephine often has a night time visitor, Cinnamon. She told me she'll need to turn over, with Cinnamon snuggled beside her, and she hates to because then he moves!

Grampa went for an early morning walk in town, at 7:00. The bugs are simply awful in the forest.

The girls roused themselves, after Gramma opened their curtains around 8! They eased themselves into the day. Josee was eating breakfast, when there was a knock on the garage door. Grampa was having a nap. It was the man to check and inspect our furnace and A/C. 

Once that was done, I set off to cut the meadow lawn and the front lawn. Long pants and a t-shirt, with my trusty ball cap and deerfly stickies.

Once that was done, I was a bit warm. I stuck my head in the basement door, and yelled, "Last one in!" It worked! I took off my pants, and jumped into the pool in my t-shirt. Soon, I had buddies.

They are good buddies. I got out, in order for them to play their new game, Whack-a-mole! Well, Whack-an-Isabelle!

We've two medium and one small monarch caterpillar. I'm sure there are more.

The milkweed hosts lots of critters! These little eggs shine copper in the sun.

A little lady beetle on the fountain!

Grampa took the girls down to the store for popsicles. They ended up with ice cream. A nice treat on a hot day. They tried to eat it on the swing bench, but it was too buggy. They came up onto the back deck with us. 

They like their routines. Grampa had taken them to the video store and they watched their regular 3 p.m. video. After that, they did more drawing until I called them up for dinner.

Grampa had gone into town for hamburgers, again. This time they were open.  It was a great day had by all!
